The DMN-8650 is the first single-chip dual-drive HDD and DVD recorder processor according to LSI Logic. It supports recording from analog video sources, such as broadcast TV, or from a DV camcorder via Firewire for storage on to hard disk or any of the recordable DVD formats (DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and DVD-RAM).
Integrating the core digital processing of a dual-drive recorder system, the DMN-8650 enables the concurrent recording and playback on both HDD and DVD. With this capability, consumers can: record their favorite TV programs to the HDD while viewing a DVD; time-shift live broadcasts while copying, uninterrupted, another program to a DVD disk; and record from the HDD to a DVD disk, optimizing speed, video quality and storage space. Using the DMN-8650, manufacturers can give consumers a new level of flexibility to record and store more than TV programs -- photos, MP3 files, and content from DV camcorders can now be archived by one system. |
